@MMGirlfriend @uspolitics We were doing this for a while during (officially recognized) pandemic times and it makes such a huge difference, not distinguishing the free-lunch kids from the paid-lunch kids and therefore not stigmatizing the former *at every school lunch-hour*. So glad we've pulled this off here!
